VW Golf GTi Commercial

[IRONMAN180288]

1.8 GTi 8v, 16v and vr6 sucks, G60 uses same block so it can handle a great amount of power which means speed... Also got the best gearbox... 7200Rpm over 250km/h... :P Orginal prankster...

[god0fgod]

Only losers buy this car.

[beating2]

i have same one just with vr6 in it :)

[215alessio]

the car was much better than this boring commercial. I had a GTD I miss my GTD

Rest in peace lady, I still got the GTD engine completely and I will rebuld you

[zeetek007]

@215alessio I was actually looking to buy a 1.6 GTD for my MK2 Golf, if you do want to sell it....you know where I am.

[215alessio]

@zeetek007 and how you are going to ship it from belgium to the UK?

anyway I am not shure I want to sell it, I drove it for 14 years

[215alessio]

@zeetek007 I have a better Idea: usa a 1.9 TDi 90 hp from a golf mk3 and bult it in a golf mk2

you're gonna love it! It's the same block only with 15 Hp more and a mountain of torque more in the lower rpm regime

[zeetek007]

@215alessio I didn't know you lived in Belgium cos then I obviously wouldn't of asked. Actually that was my first choice but I'm not too sure anymore. It's a bit too big. My current one is a 1.3 Carb and even that already costs me £1200+.

[215alessio]

@zeetek007 Trust me the 1.9 TDI 90HP from the golf mk3 is a similar block like the 1.6TDI 72 HP of the Golf 2.

if you do that take also the gearbox of the 1.9TDI

but you have to change also the drive shafts from the weels to the gearbox

and many other things

[215alessio]

@zeetek007 Thats even cooler

[zeetek007]

@215alessio You bet, it comes with a G Lader supercharger with a 40mm diameter.

[215alessio]

@zeetek007 what are the Hp?

[zeetek007]

@215alessio 114hp 148nm Torque

[215alessio]

@zeetek007 Nice figures even if the torque is on the low side it will perform well on a 870KG car

@mitylan

Strangely enough my mate is 6,6ft and whilst he can drive my mk2 Golf no problem his legs smack off the lower dash in my Discovery! I see your point though as a big guy does look a bit daft in a Golf.

[taylor1038]

I like Jeremy's "Berlin to Warsaw in one tank." hahha

[liverpoolreds8]

The new Scirocco diesel. It's explosive.

[damarufoy]

Chuck　Norris put a million on black. and it came up with black.

Chuck Norris married a sex kitten and still she is

Chuck Norris moved into a gold, just as the clever money moved in

Chuck Norris never drives a car. He walks faster than Bugatti Veyron.

[SeymourButtz99]

Thanks for uploading this classic !

This ad was noteworthy since it was one of the first European TV commercials that was played in the North American markets without modification since the theme was deemed venerable enough by the client and agency.

[kirkie1210]

WINNERS DUMB ASS LOL

[superliferc]

so the losers buy vw?

[ClassicRockVw]

Magic Vw!!!

[PaulHong22]

Old Top Gear also spoofed this commercial in their opening of the episode on the then-brand new Mercedes-Benz 600SEL W140.

[chris2009xx]

What that advert says to me is only losers who gamble and cant get a hot gf drive Volkswagen Golfs. they should had him come out looking rich well off and approach the expensive cars then open the Golfs door and then the voice over says something about the value of the car to him than the price of it

[fdssg]

@chris2009xx I think what the ad meant to say (but epically failed to) is that even though this guy has terrible bad luck and he can't count on anything to work for him, his Volkswagen never lets him down.

[mike63v8]

I love VWs but the gist of this almost sounds like 'Losers drive Volkswagens'

[Renard380]

@mike63v8 agreed, this one looks a bit failed to me...

[RaQnaR0ck]

About the music, I quote:

'The piece is called LYDIA by a man called Philip Monk

it was never released commercially and was originally sold to one of those music libraries now .. "on-line" music stores that catalogue music under "theme" for advert use, it was originally used in 1978 for a Marigold Glove advert.'

That is all the information I could find about this.

[1993gandy]

he bought the wrong one :P he should of gone for the MK1

[LebJamal23]

amazing vintage commercial 

[TheAppleiMacKid]

whats a sex kitten and what does it mean when he move into gold just as the clever money moved out

[mothersgrave]

@TheAppleiMacKid a sex kitten is a young sexy woman. Married a sex kitten right before she became a cat, meaning he married a young sexy woman right before she got old. Moving into gold as the clever money moved out means he invested in gold when everyone else was selling theirs because the price was gonna fall.

[agfagaevart]

This ad reminds me of a great film, California Split, with Elliot Gould and George Segal.

[jaharmon1000]

Who does the voice on this advert?

[fugazipizza]

no it means, no matter what in his life , he can depend on his VW. watch it again brockie.

[gobears1987]

I like the Top Gear spoof better.

If only he had waited for the Scirocco TDI to go on sale. Life's not so bad.

[bobrec3GTI]

@gobears1987 hahaha

[Brockie777]

So is this ad saying that all Volkswagen drivers are unlucky!!!

[iwona12541]

whats the actors name

[03iamhopeless]

@iwona12541 i do think his name is Yves Jouffroy

[flinty90]

Whats the actors name in this advert ???

[1996powerr]

loosers drive golf

[schorrelm]

Real losers don't know that "loser" is spelt with only one "o".

I love my Golf.

[bratattack5]

And I am one of those who drives a Volkswagen. And both of them I rely on.

[moccina]

love those headlights

[Airvtz]

one of the best adverts ever! :O

[Coches]

those GTIs are so nice

[ACNC1]

Yeah but at todays prices probably made a wad on the gold..as the not so clever money moved out

[dd8721]

Why don't people take a second to visit any VW website, I rest my case. I'm done arguing with cocky ignorant people.

[dd8721]

Whats so good about this commercial? They even got the name wrong. Its GTI not GTi.

[STR33TDR1FT3R]

It's GTi. Get your facts right you idiot.

[dd8721]

Its not ignorant ass. Find me a GTI symbol on the car itself with has a smaller case "i". Its always GTI.

[13TestaRossa]

r u really saying that the volkswagen got the name for one of their own cars wrong? fucking idiot

[dd8721]

Wow another moron and douchebag. This commercial wasn't made by VW but by an advertising company which they nominated. Apparently it wasn't that important at least in the UK. Any type of official literature from VW Deutschland never says GTi nor the badging of their cars.

[carloscabrera08]

actually, the 2nd gen GTIs did have a lower case "i". No one remembers cause that was the only generation to do so.

[dd8721]

@carloscabrera08 No thats not correct. The lower case "i" was used cause of marketing ppl fuking up.

[bratattack5]

And 'i' for an 'I' but at the end of the day it still means injection or Injection depending on how you like your i or I.

[dominiccook12]

i didnt see him commit suicide in this advert :L

[lilcoder619]

What was the name of this song?

[eldeano32]

chopin nocturne

[tiburon4444]

Very good, i dont understand what he says between seconds 10 and 16 but i understand the sense. Nice spot

[zackwatt]

"this is the man who married a sex kitten just as she turned into a cat."

[tiburon4444]

he married a little cat and turned into a cat?

In spanish Este hombre se caso con una gatita y se volvio un gato

[tiburon4444]

Thank you very much

[eldeano32]

pure class well done

[officialmashitup]

I prefer top gear's advert lol

[awdrifter3]

^ Same here. In TG's ad, the message is Scirocco can save your life. In this ad, the message is "losers drive VW GTI". lol

[CosmicWarriorSLB]

haha ya topgears ad was brilliant, but this ad is clever, and its definitely not saying "losers drive VW GTI" (i cant tell if your joking are not) imo its saying that when everything is falling apart around you, you can always rely on one thing, the volkswagen GTI, because it wont break down :P

[awdrifter3]

Yes, I understand that's what they are trying to convey, but still, it could be interpreted as "losers drive VW".

[CosmicWarriorSLB]

haha ya you could still look at it that way :P

[exinsi]

ja.ja.ja,, I love your interpretation.

[smatticusin1408]

What is the music?

[Jim341046]

@smatticusin1408. Want to know also. I had already guessed it might be a Choin Nocturne but still don't know which one. Any help?

[zildjianfan101]
